int64-buffer
Advanced tools
The int64-buffer npm package provides utilities for handling 64-bit integers in JavaScript. It allows you to create, manipulate, and convert 64-bit integers, which are not natively supported by JavaScript's number type.
Creating Int64 and Uint64 instances
This feature allows you to create instances of 64-bit signed and unsigned integers using high and low 32-bit parts.
const Int64 = require('int64-buffer').Int64;
const Uint64 = require('int64-buffer').Uint64;
const int64 = new Int64(0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
const uint64 = new Uint64(0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
console.log(int64.toString()); // '1311768467463790320'
console.log(uint64.toString()); // '1311768467463790320'Converting between different formats
This feature allows you to convert 64-bit integers to different formats such as Buffer, hexadecimal string, and JavaScript number.
const Int64 = require('int64-buffer').Int64;
const int64 = new Int64(0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
const buffer = int64.toBuffer();
const hexString = int64.toString(16);
const number = int64.toNumber();
console.log(buffer); // <Buffer 12 34 56 78 9a bc de f0>
console.log(hexString); // '123456789abcdef0'
console.log(number); // 1311768467463790320Reading and writing from/to Buffers
This feature allows you to read 64-bit integers from Buffers and write 64-bit integers to Buffers.
const Int64 = require('int64-buffer').Int64;
const buffer = Buffer.from([0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x9a, 0xbc, 0xde, 0xf0]);
const int64 = new Int64(buffer);
console.log(int64.toString()); // '1311768467463790320'
const newBuffer = Buffer.alloc(8);
int64.toBuffer().copy(newBuffer);
console.log(newBuffer); // <Buffer 12 34 56 78 9a bc de f0>The 'long' package provides a Long class for representing a 64-bit two's-complement integer. It offers similar functionality to int64-buffer, including arithmetic operations, bitwise operations, and conversion to/from various formats. However, 'long' is more focused on arithmetic operations and less on buffer manipulation.
The 'int64' package provides a way to work with 64-bit integers in JavaScript. It offers similar functionality to int64-buffer, including creating 64-bit integers, converting to/from buffers, and performing arithmetic operations. The main difference is that 'int64' is designed to be simpler and more lightweight.
The 'big-integer' package provides arbitrary-precision integers in JavaScript. While it can handle 64-bit integers, it is more general-purpose and can handle integers of any size. It offers a wide range of arithmetic and bitwise operations, but it is not specifically optimized for 64-bit integers like int64-buffer.
64bit Long Integer on Buffer/Array/ArrayBuffer in Pure JavaScript
JavaScript's number type, based on IEEE-754, can only handle 53 bits of precision.
This module provides two pairs of classes: Int64BE/Uint64BE and Int64LE/Uint64LE, which can hold 64-bit long integers without losing any bits.
Int64BE/Int64LE for signed integers, Uint64BE/Uint64LE for unsigned integers.Int64BE/Uint64BE for big-endian, Int64LE/Uint64LE for little-endian.Buffer/Uint8Array/Array/Array-like storage of 8 bytes length with offset.add(), sub(), mul(), div(), etc.Int64BE is the class to host a 64-bit signed long integer int64_t.
import {Int64BE} from "int64-buffer";
const big = new Int64BE(-1);
console.log(big - 0); // -1
console.log(big.toBuffer()); // <Buffer ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff>
It uses Buffer on Node.js and Uint8Array on modern Web browsers.
Uint64BE is the class to host a 64-bit unsigned positive long integer uint64_t.
import {Uint64BE} from "int64-buffer";
const big = new Uint64BE(Math.pow(2, 63)); // a big number with 64 bits
console.log(big - 0); // 9223372036854776000 = IEEE-754 loses last bits
console.log(big + ""); // "9223372036854775808" = perfectly correct
Int64LE and Uint64LE work the same way as above but with little-endian storage.
const big = new Uint64BE(1234567890);
console.log(big - 0); // 1234567890
const big = new Uint64BE(0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
const big = new Uint64BE("123456789abcdef0", 16);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
const buffer = Buffer.from([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
const big = new Uint64BE(buffer);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
const uint8array = new Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
const big = new Uint64BE(uint8array);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
const arraybuffer = (new Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])).buffer;
const big = new Uint64BE(arraybuffer);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
const array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
const big = new Uint64BE(array);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
const buffer = Buffer.from([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]);
const big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "90a0b0c0d0e0f10"
const buffer = Buffer.from(16);
const big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8, 0x1234567890);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "1234567890"
console.log(buffer[15].toString(16)); // "90"
const buffer = new Uint8Array(16);
const big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8, 0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
console.log(buffer[15].toString(16)); // "f0"
const buffer = new Array(16);
const big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8, "123456789abcdef0", 16);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
console.log(buffer[15].toString(16)); // "f0"
const big = new Uint64BE(1234567890);
console.log(big - 0); // 1234567890
const big = new Uint64BE(1234567890);
console.log(big.toNumber()); // 1234567890
const big = new Uint64BE(0x1234567890);
console.log(big.toString()); // "78187493520"
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "1234567890"
const big = new Uint64BE([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
console.log(big.toBuffer()); // <Buffer 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08>
const big = new Uint64BE(0);
const buf = new Int8Array(big.toArrayBuffer());
console.log(buf); // Int8Array { '0': 1, '1': 2, '2': 3, '3': 4, '4': 5, '5': 6, '6': 7, '7': 8 }
const big = new Uint64BE([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
console.log(big.toArray()); // [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ]
